I saw your stream last night, and dang did you get brutalized! It was kinda funny as a spectator, but I would have been just as annoyed as you were had it happened to me.
I think the shove range was reduced again in patch 8 but I'm not positive. I seem to recall yeeting the bugbear assassin in the druid grove halfway to Bucharest in earlier patches, yet he plopped down only one level this time.
I think the minotaurs and bulette (and hook horrors, by the way) are deliberately placed next to death chasms as part of the encounter design. As you mentioned in your stream though, there's no counterplay. There's nothing really a player can do; they have to take it and hope not to get tpk.
Shove should absolutely be a full action. I'll help you voice these complaints, but I'm sorry to say I don't think that's changing. The words "nearly feature complete" ring out in my mind like a death knell.
In any case, keep up the great content!
